Modernity Meets Tradition: the Changing Local Life in China

Association for Aisan Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, October 31, 2024

China has long been exoticized and marginalized by the West, partly due to its unique culture and geographic distance. However, since the "Westernization Movement" in the 19th century, modernity of China has been influenced by the West in various ways, which has made profound changes and impacts Chinese people’s life and fostered rapid urbanization.

In the contemporary era, China’s progress in modernity and urbanization continues to reshape not only its economic landscape but also people’s living environments and cultural practices. These transformations have reflected the influence of Westernization and globalization, yet contributing to new tensions and paradoxes within Chinese society.

How old are you? How do you feel about getting older? And how will you still be able to carry out your responsibilities as you age? Most people had reservations asking these questions of anyone but their closest friends and family members until the recent Presidential election season in the United States threw them into sharp relief.

deadline for submissions:

The Linda H. Peterson Fellowship was named after the widely influential Yale professor and longtime RSVP Board member and Vice President, Linda Peterson. The purpose of the Peterson Fellowship is to support one scholar for four full-time months to enable him or her to conduct a research project on the British periodical and newspaper press of the long nineteenth century. It was created with funds from a generous bequest to RSVP by the late Eileen Curran, pioneering researcher and Emerita Professor of English at Colby College.

After the Catastrophe. Contemporary postapocalyptic narratives

updated: 
Tuesday, October 29, 2024 - 5:12am
Between Journal
deadline for submissions: 
Thursday, May 1, 2025

Since ancient times, narratives about the end of the world have given voice to the anxieties and crises of the societies that have produced them. The forms of the apocalypse are thematically and diachronically broad and diverse (Pharr, Clark and Firestone 2016; De Cristofaro 2020). Already at the dawn of the nineteenth century, in her The Last Man (1826), Mary Shelley, the brilliant inventor of this genre, reflected on the condition of the single survivor of a lethal virus. While, for obvious chronological reasons, the anguish for a wasted environment is still absent in Shelley, many twentieth-century narratives reflect on the annihilating potential of humans’ actions on ecosystems.

The Animal In The Anthropocene: Narratives Of Non-Human Survival
deadline for submissions: 
Friday, November 22, 2024

Within Cli-Fi, Anthropocene Literature, Speculative Futurism, and visual cultures of the Anthropocene, increasing attention and sympathy have been given to the non-humans in narratives of climate crisis. From films like 20th Century Fox’s Planet of the Apes reboot to texts such as Ted Chaing’s Parrots of The Great SilenceThe Strange Bird of Jeff VanderMeer’s same-named Novella, and the Elk-Headed Woman of Stephen Graham Jones’ The Only Good Indians, to visual works like Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg’s The Substitute, Animal perspectives have never been more prevalent in narratives of human-driven climate catastrophe.

Mapping Body Space Continuum in Urbanscapes

updated: 
Tuesday, October 29, 2024 - 5:10am
Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies
deadline for submissions: 
Wednesday, January 15, 2025

Space is not defined objectively, but in relation to bodies, as it is a manifestation of their needs, intentions, and desires. It is not a container in which objects exist but is intertwined with the body’s orientation in the world and its movements within the space. Human body, therefore, is at the centre of all spaces, which are more than a geometrical concept in abstraction. Individual bodies apprehend and appropriate space differently and give meaning to embedded systems and institutions through established and evolving associations. Any assumption of personalised space, whether private or public, is embedded with historical, cultural, and social meanings which help curate embodied experiences.

Friday, November 15, 2024

In 2008, the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) released its 70th anniversary manifesto reaffirming film’s status as the “optimal archival storage” of the moving image. “Don’t throw film away!” they urged, for unlike its digital successors, film elements tangibly embody traces of their own material history alongside a bygone cultural heritage. “No matter what technologies may emerge,” they write, existing film elements “connect us to the certainties of the past.”
